FULBY Exhibition February 2010

The Gallery exhibits new work by Hans & Birgitte Börjeson, fresh and 'warm' from their first firing of the year.Large and small pitchers, cups, schnapps-cups, mini pâté-bowls, large jars..

Hans & Birgitte Börjeson have their studio in the village of Fulby, where they closely work together. The collaboration and naming of the work after the studio location has roots in pottery tradition.They met in Cornwall, one of Englands rich ceramic centres.

Fulby-ceramics are primarily known for salt-glazed stoneware. They won a prize at the first World Ceramic Biennial in Korea, 2001. They exhibit and attend ceramic art fairs all over Europe.

Hans & Birgitte Börjeson explain, that after 47 years with ceramics and numerous travels there is always something new and exciting to develop. Every salt firing gives unpredictable results, that endlessly leads to new thoughts and roads to follow.

About Me

I am a ceramic artist, potter and designer. In 1983, I completed a traditional four-year Danish apprenticeship in studio pottery at H. A. Kähler, DK. In 1998, I graduated as a ceramic designer from the Denmark Design School in Copenhagen. Important influences in my work are travels and studio residencies in Japan, the USA at Archie Bray Foundation and Arizona State University, Canada at Banff Arts Center, China, Australia, South America, Egypt and Europe. I enjoy teaching and have developed a great interest in promoting ceramic art, collaboration projects and developing international relationships. In 2001-2007, I worked as the director of the International Ceramic Research Center - Guldagergaard in Denmark. In my studio, I design and produce short series of functional tableware in porcelain, stoneware and earthenware. I also work with sculptural vessels embodied with elements of the human form, movement and body language. The sculptures reference my fascination with different cultures, the human body and mind. My studio and gallery is in Copenhagen.
